THE NEW AND THE OLD.

Old Republican Officials of the Treasury
Department Growing Uneasy.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The twenty
five hOlding-Over heads of bureaus and
chiefs of divisions of the Treasury Depart
ment are anxiously awaiting some indica-
tion of Secretary Fairchilds' purpose re-
garding their further retention in office
1t is the general impression that the new.
Secretary will make many changes which
were contemplated by his predecessor, and
which would have been made before now,
hut for Mr.. Manning's illness. The tardy
policy of Secretary Manning, regarding
the removal of Republicans, gives his sue
cessor a large field to work in. A promi-
nent Democratic official, referring to Sec
retary Fairchild's intentions, said:
should the Secretary follow the course
pursued by him rs Assistant Secretary,
no doubt many changes will be made. He
always earnestly desired that the response
BILE positions in the Department should be
filled by competent men-DemOcrats, of
course, preferred. | do not think there
will be many of the twenty-five Republi
cans in office at the end of six months"

Country.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 9.-The worlds
champions achieved another victory to-day,
defeating the Chicagos after an exciting
game by score of 8 to 2. Both pitchers
were hit freely, but FOutz particularly DIS
tinguished himself by cool headed work at
critical points in the game. de shoWed

his excellent backstop support Is due
great deal of his success. BushOng caught
beautifully. The game began with st. Louis
at the bat. AnsOn for the third Time

Association umpire, instead of DoeScher'
as he had done on both occasions previously
A wild throw of Williamson, ball by
Clarkson and a wild throw over Anson 5
head gave st. Louis one run. Chicago
started out boldly, scoring three runs III
the first inning on Ryan's hit, Peffer's three
bagger and Auson's hit. 1t looked blue
for the Browns, but they changed the
aspect of affairs by piling up four runs IN
the second. Welch went to first on balls,
advanced to second on Foutz's single

We Wnnt Shina.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Although no
official confirmation has been received at
the Department of State of the report that
Great Britain has threatened to seize Tor
tugas Island, yet it is learned that the
American Consul at Hayti has kept the de-
partment fully informed AZ to the nature
of the British claim, and all proceedings
taken by that government against Hayi
during the past three or four
years. Now that the matter is reported TO
have assumed 80 serious Il phase, the gov
ernment with view to being prepared
for any emergency, is beginning 10 canvass
its resources in case it should become nee
essary TO again assert the intention Of this
country TO maintain the Monroe doctrine
to the extent of protecting the small Re
publics of the American continent against
the encrOachment of European powers.
The result OF the inquiries into
the naval resources of the
United States is not encouraging
so far. Several wooden vessels forming
the training squadron are now on their
way northward from the West Indies and
at present there is no vessel bearing the
American flag in Haytien waters The
Yantic is at Key West and the Galena at
Aspinwall, and it is possible that one or
both of these vessels may be ordered to the
vicinity OF Hayti TO represent the United
States Government in the event that it
may become necessary TO enter q formal
protest against European encroachment in
the West Indies.

The Belief Growing in baltimore That
There Was No Il. Il d. Deal.
BALTIMORE, April 9.-There is a grow
ing conviction here that there has been no
deal HOT will there be any serious move
ment to divert the control of the h. & o.
railway to any syndicate nor to any other
railroad company. The general belief is
that President Garrett has purchased all
the stock offered, and has now, with
two or three holders of considerable
stock, the entire control. So great is
belief that Mr.. Garrett has received letter
from q gentleman in London, expressing
regret that any movement for the transfer
has been made, as the b. & .. has always
been one Of the few roads that was not
subject to stock iObbing operations. With
regard to the means 10 build the road
from Philadelphia to New York, the latter
says that if the road is in want of money
for that purpose, the entire amount re-
uuired can be raised in London in an hour.

TEXAS .PARALYZED.
Senator Reagan Comes Out Squarely
Favor of Prohibition.


GALVESTON, TEX, April 9.-Tbe pro-
hibition question is rapidly assuming a
front rank among the political issues of
Texas.
The late Legislature passed an act sub
mitting this question to vote of the peo-
pie in August
The nti-Prohibitioniste are organizing
for the battle. Chief among them is ex-
Lieutenant Governor Gibbs, of Dallas;
Hon. Walter Gresham, of Galveston, and
politicians of lesser note, who have con-
stituted themselves a committee repre-
senting the Democracy Of Texas, and are
inviting prominent Democrats to attend q
meeting on the 30th inst. for the purpose
of calling convention in May ito set
forth clearly and universally the time
honored principles of Democracy in its OPP
position 70 all forms of sumptury legisla-
tion."
The Nelrs prints to-day an open letter
from Senator John H. Reagan replying to
the invitation Of the committee to attend
the coming meeting.
Re8gsss letter will produce genuine
sensation in the political world of Texas.
He comes out squarely in favor of prohibi-
tiOn and deals the opposition some hercu-
lean blows from Democratic standpoint.
Two years ago Mr.. Reagan stood beside
Senator Coke, Governor Ireland, Congress-
man Mills and other prominent Democrats
in strenuously opposing the growth of the
prohibition idea, on the ground that it
was a sacred principle Of the Democracy
TO oppose sumptuary laws of whatever
character.
Reagan's complete change of views on
this point surprises even his nearest friends.
After picturing at length the wretchedness
and dishonOr to be encountered in every
community resulting from the use ofliquOr,
the Senator says: 81 must express my re-
gret that any effort has been made to make
aparty question of prohibition, and espe-
cially do regret that Democrats should
seek to identify that great and grand his
toric party with the fate of the whisky shop
drunkards and criminals"
Viewing the question from Jefersonian
standpoint, the Senator continues: There
is broad difference between laws which
interfere with legitimate trade and such as
would interfere with the purchase and sale
of necessary food, drink and raiment,
called sumptuary laws, and laws which
have for their object the prevention and
punishment of crime and the preservation
of public morals and decency; and think
it hardly Just to the memory of Mr.. ,Teffer-
son to assume that he would not have rec
ognized the distinction"
A dispatch from Dallas says: The Whis.
kymen's State Executive Committee met
here to-day with closed doors. 1t has
leaked out that they are debating whether
they shall make local fight merely all
over the State, or organize for State con-
test with full-rigged committee and a
bevy of orators. The presence here of sew
eral Republican leaders suggests the idea
that that party will Use the present con-
test to break down the Democratic party.
They want the prohibition question made
Democratic party issue, and the Demo
crcts are fighting shy of this.

Killing the whisky Trade.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, April 9.-The new
law passed by the late Kansas Legislature,
which is intended as a backbone to the
present prohibitory law, is playing havoc
with the liquor trade in Kansas. The st.
Joseph wholesale dealers complain of a
falling of in trade, and firm that Is
known As one of the largest in the city has
taken four of its Kansas men of the road.
In Kansas CITY, it is derstOOd, the re-
suit of the law Is the same, the Kansas
trade being virtually killed.
The law makes it necessary for man
desiring to open a drug store to have
twenty-five women signers to the petition,
and any person who buys liquor must go
before a notary public and make affidavit
as to what use he will make of it, and that
it is not intended TO be drunk as q beyer-
age st. Joseph wholesale liquor dealers
have, in all, taken about fifteen men OF
the road rs a result OF this amendment OF
the Laws

DIR. NrDoNNELL EXPLAINS.

The Pope's Decision Relates Only to Re
movable Rsctors.
NEW YORK, April 9.-The Catholics Of
this city are considerably agitated over the
report that Archbishop COrrigan has re-
ceiyed a cablegram from Rome saying that
the Pope had abrOgated the rule of the
Pleuary Council at Baltimore whereby GER
tain rectors were constituted irremoysble.
1t was cOniectured by some that this
would result in the disciplining Of some
rectors friendly TO DIR. McGlynn, but DIR.
Mcdonnell, Archbishop COrrigan's secre-
tary, says that this is not likely to happen
except in certain contingencies. The de-
cision relates 10 removable reCtOrs, not to
the irremoYable, rs reported. There had
been some doubt As 20 the ruling of the
Plenary Council The POpe's decision has
removed that doubt and the Bishop may
now remove without formal trial, but If
the priest is not satisfied with the Bishops
action he has recourse to Rome.
DR.. Mcdonnell knows nothing OF the
cabled report that the Pope insisted that
DIR. McGlynn must go to Rome.

PARKERsAURG, April 9.-An elOping,
youthful couple passed through this city
last Thursday night for Marietta, Ohio.
They came from Richmond, Va. The young
lady's name is said to be Golfer,
and that OF the young groom Mills, though
this is not positive, a. it is thought they
gave assumed names When they reached
Marietta they found that their ages were
too youthful to admit of their obtaining a
heoaeeHand tkey ,Fetarned here last night,
with the intention of taking train for the
West. While they were here waiting for
their train four hours late, the father OF
the youthful maiden appeared on the
scene, hut in some way the deter
mined couple got wind Of it and
kept dark till just before train time, when
they drove up TO the depot in a carriage,
boarded the train a few seconds before it
started, and were of. They had tickets
for indianapolis. The irate parent started
in hot pursuit upon the next train, hut as
the runaways had six hours start of him
they were doubtless married before he
reached them. From all that could be
learned they were people of excellent fam
ily, and from their manner and dress they
were evidently of wealthy parentage.

Parkersburg's Electric Light,

Sptc9d IoCgrum ZONE SuRddg ReQlaeT.
PARKERsBURG, W. VA, April 9.-The
case of the Parkersburg Gas Company
against the City Council and Electric
Light Company, in which the former
asked for an injunction against the City
Council to restrain them from contracting
for lights with the Electric Light Company
and An injunction to restrain the Electric
Light Company from operating, was de-
cided this morning by Judge Monroe Jack
son. The injunction was granted against
the City Council and refused against the
Electric Light Company. The case and
decision was based on ordinance passed BY
the City Council giving the Gas Company
exclusive right to light the streets and al
leys with gas for thirty years, nine of
which still remain. The effect of the de-
cision is TO prevent the Council from light
ing the streets by electric light for nine
years. Yet citizens can contract with the
electric company for their own uses. The
decision suits neither party, and the case
will probably be carried to the Supreme
Court OF Appeals at an early day.
